   I have looked around the forums before posting. I want to display a random post from a single category say "life". How to achieve it? I am a zero at php. currently i am using the following lines of code.

   <div id="content">
   <!--Get the last post from Life category. -->
   
   <?php query_posts('category_name=Life&showposts=1'); ?>
   <!-- Start Stylyzing Prdoduct -->
   <?php while (have_posts()) : the_post(); ?>
   
   <h1><?php the_category(' '); ?></h1>
   
   <?php the_title('<h2>', '</h2>'); ?>
   <?php the_excerpt(); ?>
   
   <?php endwhile;?>

   this code shows the latest from the life category. how to get a random post from life category?

   Thanks in advance
